And yet Malaysians laugh at the censorship regimes in place in places like Indonesia.
(Malaysia is an very interesting place to travel to. I highly recommend it at least once. Their ideas of immigration and customs are nothing short of inspiring....)
It looks like Malaysia has ordered 10 filesharing sites to be blocked by ISP's. If that's all, they are quite a bit less oppressive than the US already is with the ICE/DOJ domain name seizures.
I have only been to Malaysia once and entered through KLIA, but the experience regarding immigration and customs provoked a lot of thought into contrarian strategies.
A bit out of scope of the topic... I entered Malaysia from Singapore once, got to pay bribe of 100USD to pass the immigrations just because they didn't like my passport(Though my country is in no-visa list for Malaysia). That was a terrible experience because after living in Singapore for 3 years, I forgot about corruptions and such stuff. I openly declared the amout of each currency on me and they insisted that I give all my USD and CHY. I could have easily go back to Singapore, but I had another important flight to catch from KL to Beijing, so I would have lost more by returning to Sg than by bribing the officer. On the return I entered Malaysia from KLIA and it was smooth. I have many friends from Malaysia and I find their people nice and friendly, but after that incident, I just no longer feel like visiting Malaysia.
When I entered through KLIA, I wasn't asked about currency. The only customs/immigration questions were agriculture and health quarantine related. There were no further customs checkpoints either. They did take my fingerprints though. No questions about how much liquor you are bringing in or anything.
Exiting was more interesting. There they ask you to declare money you are taking out of the country and they don't let you take very much out. Moreover they will only let you buy up to 2 L of liquor duty free because of Malaysian customs. And yes, they take your fingerprints again.
